Translated Title

肩半關節置換手術後因牽拉運動引起之植入物旁肱骨幹骨折：病例報告

Abstract

Periprosthetic humeral fractures constituted only 2 % of all the complications during or after a shoulder hemiarthroplasty or total shoulder arthroplasty. Most of the fractures occurred intraoperatively. Postoperative fractures were caused by falls or traffic accidents. To our knowledge, they have never been caused by stretching exercises after a shoulder hemiarthroplasty. We present a 57-year-old female patient who had a periprosthetic humeral shaft spiral fracture caused by stretching exercises after a shoulder hemiarthroplasty because of proximal humeral fracture. The fracture was close reduced and fixed with a sugar-tong splint. Three months later, the fracture successfully healed with good alignment. Possible mechanism, treatment options, prognosis and preventive procedures were sought to alert the orthopedists, physiatrists and associated therapists to avoid recurrence of such fractures.
